Online Journaling was born
In my latest (but not recent) LiveJournal, I used it to upload poems that I wrote. My information read : Public, Disabled, Vulnerable. I wanted people to have access, yet restricted them from commenting. I didnt realize it then, but now see how I took LJ and used it for a new purpose.Once the trend of LJ tapered off, I stopped visiting the communities I was apart of, and with the lack of participation from my friends list, stopped using it all together.I have had 3+ online journals circa 2003. While I cant remember all the usernames & passwords, these two examples show how well versed I am. My xsavingface domain was the longest online journal I had, with over 300 posts. Around DeadJournal era, is when I began my interest in creating my own layouts. From right clicking and viewing source, I was able to estimate what links went where, and was able to take other peoples general layouts to replace with my own creation.
Shortly After, Paint & Photoshop were discovered
Twitter BloomedTwitter was a less interesting to me than online journaling. Without internet on my phone, or a laptop, I found it difficult to keep up with my twitter. Last semester I was required to make one, so was already familiar with its functions.This screen cap demonstrates my ability to upload a twitpic, use hash tags, and reply to fellow twitteres. Last semester we used our twitters to share ideas for stories. This was my first experience using Twitter other than posting random thoughts. Feedback was good, and it was when I began accepting Twitter as something more than an annoying chore.
